Chicken Fajita Pizza

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 15 min. YIELD: 2 pizzas (8 slices each).
Our family loves pizza, and this variation is one we enjoy often, the chicken is unexpected but delicious. On hectic days, I can make it in a snap using a prepared crust. Either way, it disappears in a hurry.
